Indian right-center, pro-government
ANI is India's largest newswire service, owned and run by the Prakash family, with a track record of coverage that consistently favors the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. Because Modi and Trump have maintained a broadly cooperative relationship in Trump's second term, ANI's coverage of the Trump administration tends to be neutral to mildly favorable, particularly on U.S.-India trade and diplomatic stories. Its factual reliability has been questioned by multiple investigations.
Owned byANI Media Private Limited, controlled by the Prakash family (Prem Prakash, founder and chairman; Sanjiv Prakash, CEO; Smita Prakash, editor-in-chief). Reuters held a 49% stake from 1993 until late 2022, when it reduced its shareholding to comply with India's revised foreign direct investment rules for media platforms.
